A young Leopard cat was rescued from a construction site of a hillside in Taiwan. A woman spotted the orphan wildcat covered in mud near a few working excavators in the vicinity. She thought it was a domestic cat and took it home to her care. Soon later, she discovered that what she brought home was in fact a Leopard cat, a small wild cat often seen in East Asia. She contacted the local wildlife rescue center where the wild kitten was checked out by a vet and given the proper care it needs.
The kitten is estimated to be 2 months old and healthy. They are currently rehabilitating the little wildcat and getting it ready before releasing it back to the wild.

Gorgeous little cat! Look at that face and those eyes! I would have taken him home, too! But, he is a wild cat, and the woman did the right thing in the end!
What a Beautiful wild creature! Just lovely! God bless the woman that found this little kit and the wild life conservation for taking it in.
Its too young to be on it’s own. Need to find a surrogate mommy.
It’s a good thing that she found out that it was a wild animal while it was still young. I probably would have just thought that I had found an abandoned exotic breed, and wouldn’t have realized that it was wild until it was fully grown.
i thought the ears are a bit too round for domestic cats. it is gorgeous though. i wonder how big it would get
What an adorable kitten! Very glad the lady saved it and was responsible enough to take it to the proper wildlife authorities. Good luck to the little sweetheart!
So beautiful and lucky to be rescued.
